The main point he made, which I'm in complete agreement with, is that the main characters are kept free from criticism. Once the movie reached a point where the two leads just sat around dishing out criticisms and pointing out what they hate, they became their own source of meanness and annoyance that needed to be put under the magnifying glass. The Diablo Cody jab was a great example. I couldn't get behind the characters once the movie got into that rhythm, no matter how well the actors performed or how clever the script got. Sleeping Dogs Lie and World's Greatest Dad (both of which I love) did a great job of exploring character flaws, but Bobcat's most flawed characters of all got a free pass. It's still a funny movie though. I laughed plenty, but the social commentary got way off mark.

Totally disagree with that review. While the film's narrative climax comes at the beginning of the film, as articulated by the review, the film's emotional climax occurs in the final scene. There's a subtle difference in the two climaxes. I absolutely adored this film. The satire was ruthless and biting, and the emotional journey that the two leads share is convincing. Even though Bobcat's previous films have been famous for their dark humour, there's always a solid foundation of honesty in the portrayal of characters. I wish Bobcat would make more films. He's a unique voice in American comedy.
